I seem to be having an issue with 2.8 and 2.6 on the same system specifically with app-admin/eselect-wxwidgets-0.7-r1 blocking wxGTK-2.6 and audacity requiring it. If i remember correctly eselect-wxwidgets is a depend of 2.8.

(In reply to comment #1) > Actually, eselect-wxwidgets-0.7-r1 and x11-libs/wxGTK-2.6.4.0-r3 can co-exist. > eselect-wxwidgets-0.7-r1 and x11-libs/wxGTK-2.6.4.0-r[12] cannot. > So maybe this just means i need to unmask 2.6.4.0-r3. ... Seems to have resolved the block with no adverse side effects.
